I’ve used Wrapbook before and this seems different - what’s changed?

This Wrapbook feature was updated on Jan. 5, 2026. If you’ve used Wrapbook before, here’s what’s changed:

  • Workers see a guided experience that determines which state and local forms apply based on location and reciprocity rules

  • Only workers onboarding to a new project or updating their withholdings on an existing project will see the new flow. Existing valid withholdings continue to apply for in‑progress projects unless the worker changes them.

  • State and local tax withholding forms signed by project workers can be accessed in your company’s Tax Document reports, and can be bulk-downloaded at the project level by going to the project’s Documents

Which workers will see this withholding flow?

  • Only workers onboarding to a new project or updating their withholdings on an existing project

  • Existing valid withholdings remain in effect for in‑progress projects unless the worker changes them

How does Wrapbook determine which forms are required?

  • Forms are determined by the worker’s work location and state reciprocity rules

  • The experience guides workers to only the forms that apply

What should I do if a worker’s city or state changes mid‑project?

  • Ask the worker to update their withholdings and re‑sign any required forms

  • Changes apply to the next payroll cycle, not retroactively

How can I make sure workers complete the correct forms?

Confirm project work location details are accurate, verify worker details on invite, and share the guide for project workers with your crew.

A worker says they weren’t prompted to fill out state/local forms. Is that expected?

Yes, if their existing withholdings are still valid for that project and they aren’t changing them.
